Seattle has reached a “deal” with the organizers of the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” or CHOP to reduce the size of the demonstration by half and erect permanent, concrete borders — but not everyone is happy with the city’s decision or the city’s continued tolerance of the CHOP zone.
“The Seattle Department of Transportation is installing concrete barriers in the middle of Pine Street, running East and West, which will split the road for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This will allow for emergency service vehicles to pass through the area,” Fox News reported Wednesday, noting that the “agreement” struck between Seattle and CHOP organizers reduced CHOP’s controlled area from six blocks to three.
